Food (ribs and chicken) was alright- a bit cool as if it had been hanging around in the kitchen awhile. Happy hour a bit of a joke as they had run out of the house Chardonnay which happened to be cheaper then.
Atmosphere was great and the band superb. Why don't they have Memphis Jones play on the weekends? The guys know their stuff, playing everything from blues to Rock, R&B and Elvis pop- what a show with real bits of Memphis history thrown in. These guys brought the whole rock n roll story alive for me. The food and drink hardly mattered

Wonderful location to sit out front of the club and people watch down Beale street. They had a wonderful Blues band playing and sitting outside was perfect as it wasn't too loud. We just had beers but had great service and would go back in a heart beat. We saw food being delivered to nearby tables and there were a lot of cleaned plates.

Ribs, as good as they get. Outstanding service. Great atmosphere and Blues music. Wait staff is top notch and this I is not just another chain. Unique and a must when on Beale Street. Price is perfect.

I had been to Beale Street and BB's before but my boyfriend hadn't. I told him it was a must while we were in Memphis. It did not disappoint. The ribs were fabulous, the beer was cold and the band was outstanding. We had a great time!
